To all redirected here from the nvfa.org website, Greetings.
The absence of the New Violin Family's website is one that we hope will not be permanent. Rather than park the url until matters are worked out, we hope that you will find most of what you are looking for on this website. Octavivo.org focuses on events and information about activities which feature New Violin Family instruments. It is also a place to find historical information about the development of many New Violin families, catch up on concert schedules, find music and instruction, and participate with other interested individual in our forums. Of course, the amazing New Violin Family Orchestra has a page all to itself!
If your interests are in purchasing New Family Violins, visit the Singing Woods Violin Shop for instruments, bows, cases, strings, and accessories.

The 2011 New Violin Family Orchestra Plays the Third Movement of the Telemann Sinfonia in G.

New Addition-- the Piccolo Violin!
The third movement of the Telemann is the featured video from our 2011 concert at St. Luke. It's the first concert in which we've used the amazing piccolo (treble) violin. In listening to this selection you'll hear four soloists on piccolo, soprano, mezzo and alto violins (they're seated to the conductor's left). Please enjoy the splendid solo work of our chamber bass and sub-contrabass in this unusual score by one of the great Baroque masters. Wear good headphones or listen through a good set of speakers, and enjoy!
